I hate when people touch windows in general, but when they use the window to close the door at all..... just WHY! I don't want to see your big *** hand print whenever I look out the window.
When people have big azz jewelry on their right hand and i have to constantly remind them not to scratch the stupid crap paint on the Z's window switch...
Luckily i havent had one scratch on that side...only the 2 small ones on the driver side from the PO :rollseyes:

What are you a cabbie?
Got a few..
-I have a friend that goes OOOOOHH!!!!!! FUUUUUU!!!!!! every time I hit a pothole or uneven pavement. As if hitting the pothole itself wasnt bad enough
-slouching back in their seat to the point where their knee is in the way of 5th gear, creating a semi awkward moment each time i shift 4-5
-putting arm out the window and somehow managing to smudge up the whole right side of the car
-My favorite: pulling the door handle to exit and letting it slap back into place. Big NONO
-Can apply to any car, but when they tell you "its green", or "dont go theres ppl crossing." THANKS! You've helped me immensely. Now lets test this out to make sure Im doing this driving thing correctly: get out, go cross that street in front of me and see if I stop.
Sometimes I feel like the Z has 1 seat too many.

I HATE THAT..Especially when it's someone who I know sucks at driving.
everytime someone gets in and has to pull out the cup holder in the dash to see what it is. It never wants to go back in after its out. People messing with the seat settings moving it up or back....You not driving so leave the seat where it is!!!!!!!!
=*( i don't feel so alone anymore...
- people closing the door using the windows... (can you just push slightly on the black trim like i do? leaves no traces of exiting. almost ninja like)
- people closing slamming the door... x2 if the window is half way up (sounds like the window is gunna shatter into a million pieces)
- lazy bastards who clip their shoes on my stock side skirts. (i have to spend an extra 15 minutes trying to buff stupid marks out)
- people asking me where my glove compartment is? (if you knew, what the eff would you be putting in MY glove compartment... (actually i'm just kind of frustrated because i don't have one up front and that i don't have an in cabin air filter)
- people asking where my aux connection is. again... don't remind me.
- random sneeze not covered by their hands. WTF seriously... all over my windshield?
- i get that the doors are heavy, but using your foot to hold the door open or buy you time to get out is unacceptable.
- my radio system is not a DJ booth. (not gunna lie, when i'm traffic i play with the volume **** and pretend... shh)
- passangers who try to look to see if the road is clear only to block your vision. the z has enough blind spots to have to work around your head. if i need help i'll ask.
- girls who complain about me parking too far. should just be greatful i drove in the first place.

Criticizing the way i drive. Or worse, most of my friends are S2K guys and all i hear is, wheres VTEC? or even worse, "see in the S its more of a....(fill in blank with things I dont care)".
Though my best friend has a S2K we usually just talk about how each others car perform and such, but the guys i hate the most is these two Indian twins. Always feel the need to fill me in on what I'm missing on the S2K and make frog noises because the VQ is french. >_>

To tell the group the truth I have no problems when people ride with me. My girl has known me for 8 years and the rules from the Alfa to the M to the Saab to the Z have not changed. She only asks to go faster...
All my friends would rather we ride in their cars, so I'm good.

Without a doubt one reason I hate to bring a passenger, but I counter this by opening a very small crack on the window, so that when it is being slammed, it would absorb the rubber. My only complaint!!!!!
most everybody that rides in my car knows how much i love it so they respect it so they dont die, my biggest complaint is them saying slow down or telling me the car in front of me is stopping..b!tch i have brembo's for a damn reason!!!
Or in my case which is worse the heated seats

When they kick something as they're getting in.. and to top it off slam the door like its an old truck.
However.. I love when they tell me to "slow down" cuz then I just take a turn extremely fast where it throws them around a little and watching them freak out trying to find something to grab onto.. PRICELESS!
